FAITH KNOWLEDGE AND CONDUCT
substance pervades them all, and they exist inter-penetratingly as so many liquid 'ideas' (that is, forms of mental activity), on the look-out for gratifying themselves with things in the outside world. Their existence is a condition precedent to knowledge of the world. Without them there will be no inducement for the finite ego to bestir himself to know anything, and sense-perception itself will become an impossibility for the want of internal response.
